Why Solar

Installing and using solar power can have a number of impressive benefits

Load-shedding 

South Africa is faced with a huge energy crisis which is here to stay for a number of years. By installing a solar system in your home or business, you can mitigate outages.

Savings

Reducing (and even eliminating energy bills, in some cases) is the major benefit of solar power. Even cloudy locations derive benefits of solar power with just a couple of hours of sunlight each day.

Tax rebates 

Residential homeowners can now claim a tax rebate under the Amendment Bill to help them pay off their assets. Commercial owners installing solar will also be entitled to claim a tax rebate. Please call us for further information.

Increase the value of your property 

Having solar panels on a home or commercial property can increase resale value, for a couple of reasons. Not only do the panels instantly increase the value of the home, they can also help protect roofs from the elements, extending their life spans.

Cleaner Energy 

Solar power produces clean energy that reduces negative environmental impact, as well as dependence on coal and other fossil fuels.

 FAQs

  • The best way is to arrange a site visit with one of our solar consultants. But for interest sake, your system size will be determined by the following three factors.

    What roof space do you have available?

    North facing roofs are preferably, as a North facing solar array will produce more energy, than other orientations. East and West facing roofs can also work, but will produce less solar power than a North facing roof.

    What is your yearly energy usage, or your monthly average usage?

    Your daily energy consumption will determine the amount of energy to be produced by your solar system. Daytime energy consumption will determine the solar system size which is a proportion of your total energy consumption.

    How much do you want to invest in a solar system?

    Solar systems are very modular. You can start with a small investment being a certain size system initially, later on adding more equipment i.e larger/additional inverter, more batteries, or more solar panels etc.

  • We can determine this for you by analyzing your prepaid purchases and visiting your property.

  • Solar systems are very modular. You can start with a small investment being a certain size system initially, and later on adding more equipment i.e larger/additional inverter, more batteries, or more solar panels, etc.

  • This is dependent on various factors such as your particular electricity tariff structure, roof orientation, and location in South Africa. Further considerations to take into account are the client energy profile, rising energy costs, the cost of adding more or less batteries and/or solar panels, maintenance costs, energy output degradation, feed-in, and other factors.
